    Re: Worst RD Mounting Job #734

    C'mon guyz... The car has a severe wheel alignment problem. The placement of the RD per the sketch simply provides us with an idea of HOW bad it really is.

    Re: Why is mounting your Radar higher, Better?

    I consider my STI Driver to have sufficient sensitivity that I mount it right above the dash, enough that it clears the hood scoop on my Stang, to maximize a potential "hit" from laser. I still get a...

    Re: Radar Detector build quality

    Escort and Beltroncis are essentially one and the same so either one is good. Valentine 1 is another option. Check the RD test data. I don't believe there's a one of poor quality in the bunch.

    Re: Making a trip from NJ to the middle of PA

    VASCAR on the major highways is a killer. There's nothing to notify you unless you visually pick-up on the timing devices or vehicles. IMO, run no more than 5 over unless you have a rabbit.

    Re: Why buy a radar detector?

    Let me ask you a serious question though.


    I was wondering when you are driving around naked is it like not having a radar detector?

    Re: Why buy a radar detector?

    I typically set the cruise control at 5-10 MPH over the speed limit on my frequent 400 or more mile one-way trips so an RD isn't usually needed. Most LEO's will allow at least 5 MPH over the PSL w/o...

    Re: Mounting location

    As far as laser detection, mounting it low on the windshield will provide a bit more of a chance of picking up a laser hit. But as I'm sure you already know 1) you're still likely to get tagged and...

    Re: laser hit

    Most likely he was targeting you along with everyone else but not chasing. Laser is so narrow it's difficult to assume that you WEREN'T his target, if even for a moment, since you did get an alert.
